This heartwarming, coming of age story is the perfect summer reading book for middle school girls! Ana Wright's social life is officially on the endangered list: she lives in a zoo (umm, elephant droppings!?), her best friend lives on the other side of the world, and the Sneerers are making junior high miserable.

But it's even worse when your best friend moves to the other side of the globe and the popular kids are out to get you. Poor Ana Wright. But when Ana's famous grandfather arrives with a camera crew in tow, her life gets way more complicated. She'd rather wrestle crocodiles. Keating's debut is hilarious and heart-warming all rolled into an awkward, cringe-worthy ball that every middle schooler knows as everyday life. I think I read this entire book with a smile on my face. Bravo, Jess!
